Pinky and the Brain is an American animated television series and spinoff of Animaniacs starring Pinky and the Brain. The show ran from 1995 to 2003 on Kids' WB!. The pair later spun off into their second and last series, Pinky, Elmyra, & The Brain and paired with Tiny Toons star, Elmyra Duff.

Plot

Pinky and Brain are genetically enhanced laboratory mice who reside in a cage in the Acme Labs research facility to test their unique personalities. Brain's personality is self-centered and scheming, and Pinky's personality is good-natured but feeble minded. In each episode, Brain devises a new plan to take over the world, which ultimately ends in failure, usually due to Pinky's idiocy or the impossibility of Brain's plan.

The bulk of every episode involves one of Brain's plans for world domination with Pinky's assistance and the ultimate failure of that plan. One centers on his rival Snowball's plan to take over the world using Microsponge. Another episode features Brain's single day where he tries to do anything but take over the world: in the end, a group of people vote that he should take over the world on the one day he does not want to.

There is very little continuity between episodes outside of the common fixtures of the mice, though some plans for world domination from early episodes are subsequently referred to in later seasons (for example, Brain's "human suit" used in "Win Big" reappears when Brain faces Snowball in "Snowball").
